i'm always behind on these friday five things.

here's two that i haven't done yet.

1)  Are you a romantic?
oh totally, yeah.

2)  Where did you go on your best date?
that's a good question. in the past, i haven't really been a 'go on dates' person. in high school, i was the shy, introverted kid who never had a girlfriend.

last year, though, i took five girls to prom, and that was cool. each one dressed as a specific colour of the rainbow and i dressed as a cloud [with blues, greys and whites and a really puffy shirt] and so i was the cloud and they were my rainbow. that was lots of fun. beforehand, we sat out on the quad at ISU and had a picnic with cookies, peanut butter and jelly sangwiches and apple juice. that was fun.

3)  Do you like red lacy paper hearts and Valentine’s swag?
hecks yeah. i'm a sucker for romantic, cheesy stuff like that. i'm always right alongside all the girls in the area saying 'aww!' when something cute or romantic happens.

4)  How do you show friends love? (Hugs? Thanks? Smoochies? Gifts?)
hugs, mostly.

5)  Do you like chocolate?
kind of, but only if it's not too rich or in too large of a quantity.



1) What made you smile today?
i've been playing pokemon yellow a lot today, and my pokemon are champions. also, my pikachu [his name is Spiro, like Spiro Turnstiles from Frank Espinosa's Rocketo comics] is super cute. when he's really happy, it shows this awesome animation where he lifts his little pikachu arms over his head and there are little hearts. it's incredible and i love it.

2) What's the weather like where you are?
it's cold, but not too cold. i like it, because it's good for walking around in, and one) i love walking, and two) i have no car, so walking is often the most plausible mode of transportation for me. also, i'm a fan of coldness.

3) Who did you talk to today? (you can tell us one or more)
mostly my brother. thursdays are my home-alone days. i also talked to my dad a little bit and my sister a tiny smidgen.

4) Are you hungry, thirsty or content right now?
i'm kind of thirsty. i just ate a slice of pizza and now i think i might go get some milk in a minute.

5) What are you thankful for in this moment?
pretty much everything. at church, we've been talking about how God is amazing and we should always be praising Him, and i've been really taking it to heart.
